Hearing Loss

Hearing loss can have a big impact on your life, from your work to your relationships and emotional well-being.

It really doesn't seem fair: Hearing loss, a troublesome fact of life may increase the risk of cognitive problems and even dementia.

The general perception is that hearing loss is a relatively inconsequential part of aging, it may play a much more important role in brain health. Adults with hearing loss are significantly more likely than adults with normal hearing to develop dementia.

Fortunately, there's a potential upside treating hearing loss more aggressively could help stave off cognitive decline and dementia.

Hearing aids can make a big difference, especially if you pick the right ones.
